The fuel tank shroud bears the name ZipStar, which is another name for Zongshen motorcycles in China.

They're colourful, but the solid orange Zong looks much better. Yes, I'm biased.

Yes, those particular bikes belonged to the Zong owners who rode across China and Mongolia. Indeed, I also enjoyed that ride report, which is linked below.

The other photos I posted were "borrowed" from the China Motorcycle Diaries ride report.

That was one of my favorite ride reports, I almost cried when they had to sell the bikes for next to nothing after they had gone through so much with them. I dream of a long trip like that someday (well, maybe without the snow though!) Maybe someday when my son is grown

That is a great ride report! I think it's time for me to read it again.
